ONE OF THE BEST DAYS EVER
Today Room 19 had the privilege of contributing to the re-start of the Art Centre.
Last week, Susie, from the Art Gallery, came out and helped us plan and draw murals about what we can remember from the Art Centre prior to the earthquakes. We included pictures of the sculptures, buildings, tram, jugglers and lots more.
Some lovely Art Gallery workers then transferred our art work onto large pieces of wood (220cm by 120cm)
Today we travelled into the Art Centre and painted the murals. It took us from 10 o'clock until 2.30 to get everything finished. Firstly we painted all the bigger areas of colour and then the smaller areas and then finally we used black paint and very small paint brushes to add detail. Then just like true artists we signed our names on the murals.
Even though we all had painting shirts on there seemed to be quite a lot of paint on clothes, legs, shoes and some even made it to faces!!!!
A big thank you to all the wonderful parent helpers and Will Perkins, your painting ability was quite good! :)
The 8 murals will be displayed in the Art Centre Market Square for everyone to see.
It was such an exciting day and we will be even more excited when we see ourselves on CTV and in The Press. Woo Hoo !

A BIG THANK YOU to Susie, (we love working with you), and the Art Gallery workers for all your hard work drawing our pictures out on to the wood.
Another BIG THANK YOU to Andre, Arts Centre CEO, for letting us come in and for the water bottles and ice blocks.
We are very proud to be part of the re-start of the Art Centre and proud of our art work.

4.09.2010
Two years ago today our lives changed when a 7.2 earthquake hit Canterbury.
Two years ago some of our school was red stickered and we moved our whole school down the road to Halswell Residential School. We "camped" there for awhile, in classrooms, hallways, lounges and kitchens. After many weeks the year 1-4 children came back to Halswell School and our year 5-8 children were split between Hillmorton High and Manning Intermediate Schools.
8 of our classrooms were demolished, our staffroom, admin area demolished and all our playgrounds were badly cracked. Our school hall was badly damaged - we still cant use it :( Halswell School looks very different now.
Over the two years our lives have changed - friends and families have left Christchurch, our houses have been demolished, repaired or still waiting....Parents jobs have gone, changed and many have had to move their businesses. Hundreds of buildings have been demolished, we still cant get into some of the CBD. It is now normal to drive a different way to work/ school each day as the road works change.
Sadly, many Children in Room 19 cant actually remember what Christchurch looked like before 4.9.2010 or what our school looked like - must admit I have difficulty remembering as well.
BUT -
- we appreciate the small things
- our priorities have changed in many different ways
- our friends and families are more precious to us
- we can access geonet lightening fast!!!
- we can accurately guess the magnitude and direction of an quake!!
